Unless you truely have low oil pressure (measured with a gauge), any flicker of the LED could be caused by an intermittant short of the sense wire to a grounded metal part (like the protective tin). That is what was happening to my 84GL. Could never find any bad spot on the wire. Finally just sleved the wire around the tin with a piece of rubber vacuum line and I have never had the problem return. I thought it was all different kind of things that was causing leakage paths but the only thing that stopped it once and for all was to sleve the wire. Naturally, the first thing I did was have the oil pressure measured so I could rule out internal engine parts. William |
